I blame Adrian.

I've started futzing around with Photoshop again. Because Adrian Veidt really is a beautiful bastard, and I'm just hopeless for him.

Wallpaper:



1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 800x600

What do you think? Concrit is definitely appreciated. It's been awhile, and I feel way out of practice.

Oh, they're lovely! Much better than I could ever do, but then again I hate Photoshop. (It has one of the lousiest user interfaces I've seen. Sense, it makes none.)

I really like the last one especially. Should you ever decide to do something with Rorschach.... *shameless hint*

Icon because it's the only Ozy one I have, so... ignore the message. ^__^

Hee, I have the same icon! You get the reference, yes?

Actually, I was thinking of doing something with either The Comedian or Rorschach (my other two favorite characters), so I think Rorschach will be first on the list. :D

Would you prefer Rorschach or Walter?

Err, there's a reference beyond Ozy being ~*~fierce~*~? ^^6 Honestly, I'm like, 'Hey, there's a sentiment I can metaphorically agree with on occasion. Me likey lots! :D'

Either would be fine with me. I love 'im both ways. Although the fact that he's ginger makes me giggly. I keep picturing Wee!Walter as looking like Ickle Ronniekins.

Ohhhh yes. Apparently when the Watchmen fanboys learned that Matthew Goode had been cast as Ozymandias, they pitched a bit of a fit. This was Matthew's eloquent response:

"The negative feedback is relayed by my friends. I think the fanboys aren't particularly happy - there are a load of people they'd have rather had in before me. But if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all line up and suck my dick. I don't give a fuck. I'm having a child and that's more important to me - so I don't give a fuck. Grow a dick."


I think that's when I fell in love with him. :p

I'll see what I can come up with. :) Header? Wallpaper? Both?

Although the fact that he's ginger makes me giggly. I keep picturing Wee!Walter as looking like Ickle Ronniekins.

I did have a bit of a squeefest when I discovered he was a ginger. And what a little powerhouse he is! :swoons:

Aaaah, yes, that is quite awesome. =D Rock on, bro.

Wallpaper would be great. My screen is 1440x900, btw. I have a hard time finding wallpapers I like for that size. :/ I just have a generic Repo! The Genetic Opera one right now. (Which, if you haven't seen it, talk about a deliciously gory mindfuck. Mmmm, Graverobber.)

EXACTLY. I love it! Maybe Rupert will go in fancy dress as him this year? LOL. Of course, he's a lot closer to Alan Moore, so maybe he'd not want to risk that wrath, unless he can quote Matthew Goode at him. And if he does that... [insert dirty thoughts here], Y/Y?

I love it! Thank you so much! =D

That's my favorite shot of Rorschach -- the silhouette is really striking and powerful and I'd been looking forward to the chance to use it. I'm glad I could do it for you.

So happy you like it! =D

Thanks! I did it while holding a fussy baby around 1:00 this morning. :p

oh, and may i ask what font you used? because it's kind of amazing. :) ♥

[identity profile] sexyscholar.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
INORITE?

It's called Bodoni MT Poster Compressed, and I think it's one of the standard Windows fonts. I found it by accident and immediately fell in love with it. :p

(If I'm wrong and it's not standard, I could send it.)

[identity profile] sexyscholar.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Girl, you know I'd do anything for you.

What size do you want it to be? Any particular picture you'd like? I know I love these two. :D

[identity profile] spattergroit.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
oh.my.damn. you cannot be doing that to me while i'm at work. i seriously just paused and had to catch my breath. can we use them both? shiiiiiiit.

omg and yes, i don't know why it took me so long but i just checked your page and i nearly fucking died. goddamn he's gorgeous. i like the size of your header! you can use that size. i'm not particular anymore. i used to go for really wide but i think when the width is not too much longer than the length it looks ... i don't know cleaner? i can't explain it.

I am officially addicted to this man. I want him to be in EVERY movie. He could even be the fucking shark from Jaws.

can we use them both?

YES WE CAN.

I already have an idea. XD

Let's see, I think mine is 700x378 or something like that. I'll make it an even 700x400. Yeah, I've been more attracted to the slightly squarish (but big) stuff lately.

i don't know cleaner? i can't explain it.

When the header is really wide, it feels like you have to keep adding things to make it interesting, but then it just feels all crowded. Is that it?
